As an undergraduate at the University of Texas at Austin from 1985 to 1989, I am grateful, appreciative, and humbled to have returned as a graduate student some twenty years later to the same institution, but a different one. As I have carried out this project, I have felt impelled to sort out those aspects of the past that are yet present, and those which are not. Such, it seems to me now, is the proper role of the educational, and educator, historian. That this task was a co-construction of knowledge for me has indebted me to the following persons. I am particularly indebted to Dr. Sherry Field for shepherding me through this process as an able and willing guide, but also as a teacher in the truest sense of the word.
